@Retryable at both class and method level

[mittalarpan]

If we have @Retryable at both class and method level, which one takes precedence for that method ? Based on my testing I believe method level takes precedence but wanted to confirm this with community. Thanks.

Example -

@FeignClient(name = "name", url = "${url}")
@Retryable(maxAttempts = 4, backoff = @Backoff(delay = 500L, maxDelay = 20_000L, multiplier = 4, random = true),
           include = RetryableException.class)
public interface ClientService {
   
   @Retryable(maxAttempts = 2, backoff = @Backoff(delay = 100L, maxDelay = 10_000L, multiplier = 2, random = true),
           include = RetryableException.class)
   Response getFoo(@RequestParam("param") String param);
}

For method getFoo I believe the config specified at method level will be used rather than the class level ?

That is correct; logic is here:

spring-retry/src/main/java/org/springframework/retry/annotation/AnnotationAwareRetryOperationsInterceptor.java

Lines 175 to 178 in 61960f3

	Retryable retryable = AnnotatedElementUtils.findMergedAnnotation(method, Retryable.class);
	if (retryable == null) {
	retryable = classLevelAnnotation(method, Retryable.class);
	}

Thanks for confirming.
